General Motors Co's South Korean unit plans to recall some 60,000 of the Chevy Cruze small car and the Captiva sports utility vehicle (SUV) in South Korea, the government and the company said today.

GM Daewoo Auto & Technology will recall 45,957 of the Captiva, which is sold as the Winstorm in South Korea, due to defects with the steering system, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

It is set to recall the SUVs which were made between April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007, the ministry said in a statement.

The company also plans to recall 12,604 of the Chevy Cruze sedan, which is sold as the Lacetti Premiere locally, due to defects with fuel supply pipes, the ministry said.

The recall applies to cars produced between Sept. 25, 2009 and March 2, 2010.

GM Daewoo officials said the Captiva and the Cruze with the same defects would be recalled in overseas markets.

"GM plans to recall the models with the problems in other countries. But every country has different rules and standards and each GM operation will decide the size and timing of recalls of those cars depending on their own situations," a GM Daewoo official told Reuters by telephone, asking not to be identified.
